Alexa stayed inside her room all day laying in bed, feeling sorry for herself. The trio ensured that no one bothered her at all. Not even they dared to disturb her. Daniel came by to ask if she wanted to join him to entertain a guest, 'Prince Alex' but was turned away by Logan and Lucas saying that she was tired from all the training and was resting. Daniel accepted it and left without a fuss, but, sadness was visible on his handsome face.
Daniel was ordered by the First Lady Dianne to entertain Prince Alex, he had no choice but to comply, or his mother would not leave him be. Unfortunately, he had no idea what the Prince liked to do and what he wanted. He decided to visit him at his hotel so that they could discuss it then.

The night came then, Alexa fell into a deeper sleep. When it was dinner time, someone was sent by the President to fetch her when she didn't show up earlier for lunch. When the person assigned to get Alexa arrived at her door, Logan and Lucas just turned the person away from the same they did with Daniel that morning without blinking an eye.
"She is still resting, and I will inform her when she wakes up!" Was all the response Logan provided, as he stood still guarding the door looking like a statue.
A couple of minutes later, Daniel Grant came himself again to check on her, but the same excuse was given by Logan and Lucas who were adamant not to allow anyone sees her sad state as per Ria's instructions. Daniel was turned away the same way he was turned away during the day.
Daniel was not happy to be denied entry then insisted on speaking with Ria who was inside the room with Alexa. Logan and Lucas heard how desperate Daniel's voice was and decided to comply.
*Knock! Knock! Knock!* "Miss Flora, It's Logan, may I come in for a moment?!"
Ria heard Logan's words by the door, but instead of letting him come in, she quietly went out and closed the door behind her as to not wake Alexa from her slumber.
Ria saw Daniel Grant as soon as she stepped out of the room and she could see concern showing on his face. "Mr. Grant Sir, How can I be of service to you?"
Daniel conjured the sweetest smile he could before speaking, hoping that it would get him through the door and into the room [Not!].
"I'm wondering why my baby sister is not at the dinner table, so I came to fetch her, can I come inside to speak with her? Please!!!"
However, Ria had no choice but to make an excuse that Alexa was not feeling well, and they had to let her continue sleeping. "Don't worry, Sir Daniel. I already requested from the kitchen to bring dinner for her once she wakes up." She informed him to assure him that Alexa was being taken care of.
Daniel had no choice but to accept defeat and accepted his sister's wishes. He turned around and went back to the dining room all gloomy to inform his Father and Mother that they would be dining alone for he had lost his appetite.
President Grant saw the Daniel came back empty-handed; hence, he too lost the appetite to eat dinner. Before Daniel could utter a word, the President spoke first. "You all go ahead and eat, and I have something I need to do." He told First Lady Dianne and Daniel with a sad voice as he was getting ready to leave.
First Lady Dianne was at first glad that Alexa was not joining them for dinner, but when the President decided to excuse himself, her face turned sour then she suddenly had to say something. "What? Am I supposed to starve myself now, just because she's not feeling good? What about you?" She angrily asked Daniel, who was contemplating if he should stay or leave.
The latter won: Daniel looked at his mother straight in the face, "No! I have lost my appetite and you can either eat by yourself, call your precious niece Jane Si to join you, or as you say... Starve!" He then walked out of the room like the devil was chasing him.
President Grant smirked and shook his head as he looked at his wife stunned from Daniel's outburst. "Yes! Why don't you call your niece Jane Si, to join you for dinner, better yet...Call that best friend of yours, Lady Lucy Le Grand, if not, starve then! Like Daniel said. Hahaha!" He said as he walked out of the dining room toward his study.

It was already morning when Alexa finally came out looking all tired and hungry. She had slept like a log without realizing that someone at the other side of the White House was currently bad-mouthing her, and she was the full topic of discussion at the breakfast table.
"Good morning! " She greeted Ria who was standing by the side of her bed, staring at her with eyebrows, almost touching each other.
"What's with that glare? Did something happen while I was sleeping? Don't tell me... We had a terrorist attack us during the course of the night, and I missed it all?" She jokingly asked still half asleep half awake.
"Good Morning to you too! And no, we were not attacked by any terrorists. So, you did not miss anything." Ria replied while still glaring at her.
" Ria Flora! If you don't tell me why you're glaring at me right now, I will tickle you to death!" Alexa started to come towards Ria.
Ria backed away quickly. She still remembered the last time, and she did not want to repeat that. "Look at yourself in the mirror, and you would know what I'm talking about."
"Huh?" Alexa quickly ran towards the dressing room to look at herself in the mirror. Not a minute went by when Ria heard a loud shriek from the dressing room.
'AHHHH! OMG!!!" Alexa screamed so loud... It could wake up a dead person.
Suddenly the door burst opened, Lucas and Logan came running with their guns out ready to shoot...
